Many memorable points but what I locked onto was the last few chapters where he shares about “Home Team” won my heart and gave me inspiration! I hope that if I’ve pulled them through the ups and downs of the story enough, by the end of the treatment, they are dying for more.

The whole chapter "Love is a Net" about Blaine's trapeze lesson: When asking about the nets being replaced, he learned that they don't replace the nets entirely, but repair them immediately.
